Love is love! Mariana Varela, a 2020 Miss Argentina, and Fabiola Valentin, a 2020 Miss Puerto Rico, made their engagement public on social media on Monday. According to reports, the wedding took place on October 28.
The two initially connected during the Miss Grand International 2020 contest
“After deciding to keep our relationship private, we opened the doors to it on a special day. 28/10/22,” the caption for the Instagram post reads, adding emojis of a heart, a ring, and a star.
The two beauty queens are seen vacationing together in the video that was posted on social media. It also provides a sneak preview of their proposal.
The two initially connected during the Miss Grand International 2020 contest and began dating shortly after, but they kept their romance a secret. “Many congratulations to you both. MGIO consistently supports “LOVE” without restrictions, “said a post on Miss Grand International’s Instagram page.
Beauty pageants, which have long been labelled as retrograde by activists, are undergoing significant changes
Varela competed for Argentina in the 2019 Miss Universe competition and finished in the top 10 of the 2020 Miss Grand International pageant, where she met her future wife. Varela has contributed to numerous campaigns against gender violence, according to Hola magazine.
Valentin is a model for a Major modelling agency in New York and placed in the top 10 of the Miss Grand International 2020 competition. While Puerto Rico legalised same-sex unions in 2015, Argentina legalised them in 2010.
Several users on Twitter expressed their joy over the news, with one writing, “You guys make me believe, genuine love is still alive.”
Beauty pageants, which have long been labelled as retrograde by activists, are undergoing significant changes. Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip, a Thai transgender beauty tycoon, has purchased the Miss Universe Organization.
